Kokorokoko falls more into the category of "bizarre vintage dream finds" more than your average thrift store. You won't find your everyday flannels and old gym shirts here like you would at an average thrift store. This shop is a highly curated haven of the most authentic, quirky memorabilia from the 80s and 90s. The owners are amazing people, as are the employees, and it's always a fun time to wander the shop and transport yourself back in time through their selection. Every item here is a winner, and although the price points are higher than a conventional thrift store, it's because you are paying for the high curational quality of the pieces in this store. You won't have to sift through racks forever to find something you love. They sell everything from fanny packs to Garbage Pail Kids trading cards, to clothing to accessories to coffee-table books on 90s fashion. Definitely a must see if you're in Wicker Park, as this is one of the shops that truly gives my neighborhood it's eclectic flair.
